Chapter 183: Refusal
Mrs. Xu looked at Jia Min, who was smiling, and was stunned for a moment, and then took two steps forward to salute Jia Min under Xu Qiaofeng's reminder.
"I've seen Mrs. Lin, it's ours, I didn't expect that a character like Mrs. Lin, you, would be a housekeeper."
The smile on Jia Min's face remained unchanged, and she gave up her seat for Mrs. Xu and sat down on the main seat. A little maid came in and served Jia Min a tea bowl, and Wan Mo said at this time: "Mrs. is not suitable for drinking tea now." ”
The little maid lowered her head and said softly: "The slave maid is making red date tea, and Sister Qingzhu has explained it!" ”
"Put it down, you're doing well!" Jia Min said softly.
"Thank you, Mrs. for the compliment!" The little maid put down the tea bowl, gave Jia Min a salute with a smile and retreated.
"Mrs. Lin is worthy of being a girl from Rongguo Mansion, look at the servants in this mansion are all well-behaved." Mrs. Xu complimented.
"Mrs. Xu has won the award! This is ......" Jia Min saw Xu Qiaofeng from the door of the side hall, this girl's appearance is different from most Jiangnan women, Jiangnan women are mostly delicate and graceful, but Xu Qiaofeng is very gorgeous, fourteen or fifteen years old has a long and delicate figure, and there is a touch of natural charm in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, such a woman can definitely arouse a man's desire to conquer. This girl obviously has not learned the rules, although she tries to make a very elegant style, but every movement is very stiff, and she looks very childish. Jia Min instinctively dislikes this Xu family girl, her background cannot be changed, and her tutor cannot be demanding, but she is so vain that people look down on her. She thought she was doing a good job, but in fact, she was seen through by Jia Minwan and them at a glance.
It's not that Jia Min hasn't interacted with those girls from small families, they all know that even if they pretend again, they can't compare with Jia Min, who has been taught by everyone since she was a child, so they simply get along with Jia Min naturally, but it will make Jia Min look down on them.
"Oh! This is my daughter, her name is Qiaofeng! Mrs. Xu hurriedly introduced Jia Min.
Xu Qiaofeng originally sat in the seat next to Mrs. Xu, it is said that she should not sit down when the master did not open her mouth to give up her seat, and should stand beside Mrs. Xu, but Xu Qiaofeng didn't understand this, so she didn't know that she had been seen as a joke. Xu Qiaofeng stood up and walked up to Jia Min in small steps, "Qiaofeng has seen Mrs. Lin!" ”
"Get up, you don't have to be restrained when you get to our house, please sit down and talk!" Jia Min asked Wei Zi to hand Xu Qiaofeng a purse and said, "A little thing, Miss Xu can play with it!" ”
When Xu Qiaofengting arrived at Jia Min's words, he suddenly realized that he had been rude just now, his face suddenly turned white and red, and sweat broke out on his nervous forehead. She took the purse in Wei Zi's hand, thanked Jia Min, and went back to sit down.
Mrs. Xu glanced at her daughter who was sitting there stiffly, and sighed in her heart, and the idea of being an important person in her heart became even stronger at this time.
"Mrs. Lin, our mother and daughter came this time to ask Mrs. Lin for help, and please ask Mrs. Lin to agree!"
Jia Min picked up the tea bowl to hide the displeasure on his face, but said in his heart: This Mrs. Xu is too ignorant of the rules, and she hasn't explained anything yet, so she forced people to agree to help, what if they can't do it?
Jia Min took a deep breath, looked at Mrs. Xu with a smile and said, "Mrs. Xu also has to tell me what is going on first!" If I am within my ability, I will not refuse! ”
"Oops! This matter is not a big deal for you, Mrs. Lin! Mrs. Xu said happily, turned her head to look at Xu Qiaofeng and said, "Mrs. Lin, you have also seen that this daughter of my family is a good one, but it is a pity that she was born in a small family like ours, and we don't have the ability to teach her well." However, this child has been smart and clever since he was a child, he studied and read with his brother, and he also went to Jinling's women's college, but he was not selected because of his family background. I've only had such a pair of children in my life, and I want to give them a good future, so ah...... Last time at the first birthday banquet of the uncle, I saw that Mrs. Lin was very well-behaved, and I heard that she came out of the palace, so I thought about inviting her back to help teach Qiaofeng. Mrs. Lin, look ......"
Jia Min listened to Mrs. Xu's words expressionlessly, and glanced sideways at Wan Mo, who always stood aside with his head down, completely unaffected by Mrs. Xu's words, as if they were talking about other people at this time.
Jia Min was silent for a moment and said: "Mrs. Xu, this request of yours is unwilling from my heart, after all, she has followed me for many years, and to me she is no different from my loved ones, how can I be willing to let her leave." But I'm not the overbearing and unreasonable person, you only asked Wan, and if she agrees, then I have nothing to say. But in the future, I will still give Wan Mo a pension. ”
"This ......" Mrs. Xu didn't expect Jia Min to disagree, she would attach so much importance to Wan Mo, if Jia Min opened her mouth to release people, it was expected that Wan Mo would not dare to object, but now that Jia Min let Wan Mo choose for herself, it is hard to say whether she will agree. Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Qiaofeng, wanting to see what her daughter meant. And Xu Qiaofeng bit her lower lip and thought for a moment, got up and walked in front of Wan Mo, and knelt down without saying a word.
Wan Mo guessed what Xu Qiaofeng was going to do when she got up from her seat, so she avoided Xu Qiaofeng before she knelt down.
"Miss Xu must not act like this, the old slave can't afford it! Please also ask Miss Xu to stand up and speak well! ”
"I'm ......" Xu Qiaofeng saw that she didn't achieve her goal, so she had to kneel there and cry. Mrs. Xu saw that her daughter was crying so aggrieved, and she seemed to be distressed, so she ran to Xu Qiaofeng's side to help her wipe her tears. Seeing that Wan Mo on the side was not moved at all, the anger in his heart came out.
Mrs. Xu helped Xu Qiaofeng up, walked up to Jia Min and said, "Mrs. Lin, is this the tutor of your Lin family on East Street?" Look at the one who bullied my daughter, don't you say a word? ”
Jia Min raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Xu, and said in a cold tone: "Mrs. Xu's words, I don't dare to admit it!" You don't follow the rules and come to the door rashly, have I ever neglected you? Thou hast spoken ill of the Lord's house in spite of the feelings of the Lord's house, and have I ever spoken ill of me? What Miss Xu did just now was not a lady at all, so why don't you ask her to get up and talk, but where is the rudeness? What does Mrs. Xu want me to say? Agree to your request? If you don't agree, you're bullying, right? ”
